Good to see your font, ita. I'm sorry you don't have the positive instant results we all feel you deserve. May relief stop being so absurdly elusive.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, ita, that's just awful.

It could well take another week or so to see results. Each of Hubby's surgeries comes with weeks of "Let it all calm down and don't push it" before the benefits show up. His latest shoulder surgery was a month ago, and he still whimpers from it, though he does see improvement.
Depending on what was done, the body has to recover from the shock of surgery, plus adjust to the new configuration. I've witnessed a dozen surgeries, and patience is the hardest thing to have at this point.

Well, lets just hope that past performance is not an indicator of future returns when it comes to the surgery, ita. Positive-outcome~ma.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
They're touting "You don't have to send in your W-2!" Of course, that means there's a form in the booklet where you have to fill in all the information from your W-2. I'm guessing they didn't want to pay people to data enter the information on their end.
I don't see how that could save on data entry. There is no way an optical reader will be able to read everyone's handwriting.
ita, I hope the final assessment is a good one.

It's the Year Utah Decided to Have a Tax Fiasco in any case, because they replaced the previous tax tables with a flat tax that involves lots of "Find the amount from Line 6 from your Federal return. Multiply by .05. Subtract the amount on Line 12 from Line 9. Add that to Line 10. Multiply by .9. Please see next page."
I'm making them mail me a check, I don't want to give them my bank information.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh ita. I hope something good comes out of it.

I'm sorry, ita. We were hoping for better. Still hope you see improvement. And I'm just sorry you're having to go through all this.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What are the worst artificial flavors in candy?
